ok, which one of you told my son that it was ok to start moving?? you heard me- i said moving!!! he's only 3 1/2 months old!!!
i'm not talking about rolling- he's been doing that for a while. i'm talking about him rolling on to his stomach and then scooting himself toward something. it is purposeful moving. he sees something and scoots toward it. he puts his head down between his hands, he gets up on his toes, then pushes with his legs. this results in him moving forward 2-3 inches. he will do it over and over again until he gets tired, gets frustrated, or runs into something. he is not content to sit still. we never know where he will be in his crib when we go to check on him- yes, he does it while only partially awake too! it looks rather unpleasant, his poor little face is mashed into the floor when he does it, but he doesn't seem to mind too much.
i'm not prepared for this. i didn't even know that babies could move like that at this age. bean didn't move at all until she was 6-7 months old (and she scooted on her back). she didn't crawl until 9 months. i have a feeling that sprout will be crawling MUCH sooner than that.
serenity now!!!!! ;)

tee hee. (that's really all I can say) You have an overachiever, apparently? :)
He is a mover and a shaker already! Wow! Is it safe to assume you are both insanely proud and insanely freaked out??? Where is the pause button on that little man!? LOL. I can't believe he's getting around already! Get your running shoes laced up, mama. :o)
Oh congrats, he sounds like he will be crawling all over before you know it.
FWIW Eilidh was rolling all over and starting to creep around that age. She was full on crawling just at 5 months.
eeeeek. The BA crawled at 6 months which was a nightmare. I put her in the 'jolly jumper' from 4 months. It seemed to keep her happy. There was a LOT of bouncing and jumping. Burned off her energy but at least I knew where she was. Sprout is obviously going to be a sportsman. Obviously. :-D
Lauren was crawling right around five and a half months, so it can happen.
